Step into the grandeur of the rotunda foyer, graced by a gracefully curved staircase that sets the stage for a dramatic entrance. The main floor accommodates two luxurious suites and a cozy den, making it conducive to one-level living. The formal living room commands attention with its sweeping panoramic views of the picturesque surroundings, evoking a glamorous Hollywood ambiance, complemented by an ornate wood-encased fireplace. For more intimate gatherings, the family room exudes timeless class, adorned with rich wood beams, a rustic brick fireplace, and a discreetly concealed bar. The kitchen underwent a tasteful renovation and features a suite of high-end appliances, including a Thermador cooktop, double oven, and SubZero refrigerator-freezer. Granite countertops and French provincial-inspired ivory cabinets with a glazed finish evoke the charm of Louisiana. Exquisite millwork and bespoke flooring have been meticulously fashioned from an array of wood varieties, including hickory, oak, maple, and cherry, to name just a few. Ascend to the upper level via one of two staircases to discover two additional bedrooms and two full baths.
